Tony Khan Talks Hook’s Dynamite Debut & Owen Hart Cup

AEW

All Elite Wrestling CEO and Head of Creative, Tony Khan recently spoke to TV Insider about a variety of topics but also made sure to mention an AEW fan favorite’s impending debut on AEW Dynamite.

Speaking about Hook’s Dynamite debut, Khan said:

 “He is a great young prospect. He has the best coaching, particularly from his dad Taz, a legendary wrestling tactician with a great mind. He has provided a lifetime of knowledge to his son who is also a great athlete. He is also really handsome. A fantastic human. I think that is why he is so well-liked by the wrestlers. And it’s why he has a great chance to cross over into being a pro wrestler and other facets of entertainment.”

Speaking of highlighting up and coming stars, Khan also discussed the Owen Hart Foundation tournament, shared his feelings about the importance of Owen Hart, and was sure to mention the significance of the partnership with Dr. Martha Hart, Owen’s widow.

Khan said:

“Owen Hart is one of the greatest pro wrestlers in my lifetime. We haven’t seen or heard enough about Owen Hart, who has not been put in the spotlight as I believe other deceased wrestlers. Now we’ve come to this great understanding with Martha Hart, who frankly has not wanted to do anything with WWE. She is a very well-educated, discerning woman. She has asked a lot of questions. She wants to make sure this tournament is a great representation. We’ll do everything in our power to make sure the tournament is everything she was hoping for as well as wrestling fans around the world. A great tournament filled with great wrestlers to honor the legacy of Owen Hart.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Khan discussed CM Punk and the reaction to his anti-AEW bots comments.
